Was looking at them. It seem like not a bad idea, but i'm not sure how will they work going downhill. It seems like a very good potential rollover.
Is anybody knows anything?
Thanks

I ran them for a little over a year. No problems with them 'unloading' as many of the NON-REVOLVER OWNERS claim. I actually really liked them and would still be running them if I hadn't changed to a 14 bolt, it's probably a little heavy for them. The only 'odd' characteristic I experienced was them lifting up when accellerating from a stop, and occasionally while trying to climb something near vertical with the front.
The droop they allow is awesome and as long as you properly set up your driveshaft to handle the extreme droop you'll be set.
Here's a couple pics of the flex:

I ran em for three years....Liked em alot...the only time they gave me any trouble was during a steep climb on an undercut ledge the rear tires would hit the ledge and the revolvers would tuck up to the frame forcing the rear of the leafs down kinda funny feeling. I would use em again, here they are opened about half way

the entire revolver shackle would rotate towards the frame, and this would force the shackle to start to open

Gotcha!Cant happen with scissors except for a little more availabe flex due to the additional set of bushings!
